The fox population in a certain region has a continuous growth rate of 9 percent per year. It is est the population in the year 2000 was 14400. (a) Find a function that models the population t years after 2000 (t = 0 for 2000). Your answer is P(t) (b) Use the function from part (a) to estimate the fox population in the year 2008. Your answer is (the answer must be an integer)
